“In this time of darkness… of invading cities, I’m trying to remember, light lasts forever. Darkness lasts not even for one second… when you turn on the light. I know that broadcasting could get me executed. But I will not be silenced.”

Netflix has released a fantastic new trailer for Shawn Levy’s ‘All the Light We Cannot See.’ The four-part limited series set during World War II is based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Anthony Doerr of the same name. I’m looking forward to watching this! How about you?

Official Synopsis:

“Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, ALL THE LIGHT WE CANNOT SEE is a groundbreaking limited series that follows the story of Marie-Laure, a blind French girl and her father, Daniel LeBlanc, who flee German-occupied Paris with a legendary diamond to keep it from falling into the hands of the Nazis. Relentlessly pursued by a cruel Gestapo officer who seeks to possess the stone for his own selfish means, Marie-Laure and Daniel soon find refuge in St. Malo, where they take up residence with a reclusive uncle who transmits clandestine radio broadcasts as part of the resistance. Yet here in this once-idyllic seaside city, Marie-Laure’s path also collides inexorably with the unlikeliest of kindred spirits: Werner, a brilliant teenager enlisted by Hitler’s regime to track down illegal broadcasts, who instead shares a secret connection to Marie-Laure as well as her faith in humanity and the possibility of hope.”

The series stars Mark Ruffalo as Marie-Laure’s father Daniel, Hugh Laurie as Uncle Etienne, Lars Eidinger as cruel Gestapo officer Von Rumpel, and Marion Bailey as Madame Manec, and introducing newcomers Aria Mia Loberti and Louis Hofmann as Marie-Laure LeBlanc and Werner Pfennig.

Premieres November 2nd on Netflix.
